Episode Day 0: 2025 launch day taping spoilers and speculation

[jessy_girl]

Worst case scenario we can make a drinking game out of it, every time it gets into shot

I am absolutely here for this, so it’s a win-win

I just realised even tho it’s live this time it won’t be showed live in Queensland where it’s filmed due to daylight savings

Meanwhile I've double checked my VPN and set up 10play on my Android box... all tested and working. 10 better make this good enough to watch live TV with ads at 3.30pm (my time)! I'm not big on watching TV during the day. Dogs will be bugging me for their walk at 4 but will have to wait 'til 4.40ish now.

@jaydee someone mentioned you can select NSW in the app to watch the NSW Channel 10 stream live. Maybe check that out if in QLD.

It was the same in 2012-2014 though.

You can set the app or website to nsw, it works, tested it last night.

People attending tonight - drop any cheeky snaps or deets if you can! So excited to get the tea

The house looks so small and poorly built. I've been watching the UK version the last few seasons and their house is huge compared to the Australian one. Hopefully next year they do the Australian version and UK version at the same time and each swap a housemate to visit the other house for a week (if the next Australian season is longer than this year's 4 weeks).

I think they will probably have to have their phones locked in a pouch that only gets unlocked once they leave, thats what they do for the crowd in the UK

This was in the generic DW email:


So I'm not sure how strict they'll be, but I guess we'll find out

Low expectations aside, it is actually pretty cool to think that people will be arriving at the filming in just over an hour. There would be pretty good vibes there I think.

Not long now until someone snaps the obligatory photo from the Dreamworld carpark, me thinks?

Meanwhile on Channel 10, 1 day to go until launch broadcast.

There is no way this will work in todays society. Even those not planning to record or take photos won't want to be separated from their phones and will sneak them in.

Cautiously optimistic, hoping this is way better than what Channel 7 served up a few years ago. Anyway, very curious to see what the new housemates are like and so on.

 

[jaydee]

I’m on my way now! I really don’t want my phone taken away tho

I'm here I was going to wear jeans but thank fuck I didn't, I'm like a roast chicken rn

I don't think it would be possible to do any worse than that. The only thing Seven did right during their era was cancelling it.

What's the queue situation like @BB12?

I've seen a few selfies on Instagram with this background in the last hour with some temporary crowd control fencing on the right edge of picture, but not sure if this was taken at Dreamworld:

I'm just chilling in the carpark, waiting for mates to arrive, but will keep you posted.

 

[Rison]

I don't get why they're caring so much about phones at the launch. If they're going to cling to any semblance of OG, any twists or secrets will be filmed away from the audience later on and the live show is just seeing the housemates.
